A interesting incident remembered by some elders. " The period when emergency rule declared, even a distribution of a bit notice of opposition parties are also a crime !! So we cant stock this notices-publications neither in hand nor in our home. We hide and kept these notice-publishings under a step of a house which used to pass a ditch !
Kullan. Kuppier, and Putta. Vittal of Salem was arrested and tourchered. They drove away in Yercaud forest by the police as nakedly..."
Finally democracy established. Brutal punishment on opposition leaders and supporters came to an end. A drama of Indira Gandi to survive on power came to an end.
